Backing Up and Restoring Disk Information
Restoring Your Files
Use Restore to copy backed up files from a backup tape to a disk. Restore contains many
options that let you customize your restore operations, including:
Copy files to disk from a magnetic tape created using Backup
List the contents of a tape without restoring data
Convert files from one disk process type to another
Note. Do not run Restore under a user ID with Safeguard default protection, because all files
restored to disk would also have Safeguard protection.
For more information about tape operations, see
This example restores all files on tape drive $TAPE1 that have the current default
volume and subvolume name and all files that have the volume and subvolume name
$DATA.USER.
To restore files from a backup tape to your disk using file-mode operation:
1. Remove the write-ring from the tape reel that you are using for the restore operation.
This write-protects your tape; if your tape is write-enabled and another process
attempts to write to your tape, your data can be damaged or destroyed.
2. Enter a Restore command at the TACL prompt:
RESTORE [ / run-options / ] tape-drive,
qualified-file-set-list
[ , command-option ]
[ , command-option ]...
run-options
One or more run options. See the RUN command in the TACL Reference Manual.
tape-drive
Name of the tape drive you are using for the restore operation, or a TAPE DEFINE
name. Tape drive names begin with a dollar sign ($) and can be up to seven
characters long.
qualified-file-set-list
One or more file-set lists specifying the files you want to restore.
command-option
Restore command option. See
This example shows a Restore command:
